The new volume of the “Red Book” serves as a chronicle of the Earth created by people. It reminds us of the importance of our responsibility and demonstrates that the efforts of conscious individuals can do a great deal. In this edition, both sad and encouraging pages are collected. “Black pages” are devoted to animals that became extinct, often due to human вмешательство. “Gray pages” describe species that are threatened with extinction. “White pages” tell about those who managed to be saved and returned to their natural habitats. These stories are evidence of the victory of caring people who never lose faith in the power of nature—and they offer hope for the preservation of the diverse world of wildlife.
